An 18-karat yellow gold watch

The centerpiece of this collection is a true watchmaking masterpiece. Featuring a crown and a bidirectional rotating bezel, this 18-karat yellow gold watch offers a refined and exclusive aesthetic. The chocolate-colored ceramic insert and the golden GMT hand add a touch of sophistication to its distinctive look. The sandblasted anthracite dial, with its beige numerals, evokes a vintage aesthetic enhanced by the use of old radium Super-LumiNova® on the hands and Arabic numerals. This model comes with an interchangeable stainless steel bracelet, a NATO strap in an exclusive brown shade and a brown leather strap with cream stitching. Its ingenious adjustment system allows for a personalized fit and optimal comfort throughout your adventures.

A tribute to the spirit of adventure and Longines' pioneering role

The Longines Spirit Zulu Time takes its name from the first Longines dual-time-zone wristwatch, launched in 1925 and bearing the Zulu flag on its dial. The term "Zulu" refers to the letter Z, which stands for universal time as used by aviators and the military. This emblematic watch laid the foundations for the later development of Longines GMT watches, mainly intended for aviation. In this way, the brand consolidated its reputation in the field of multiple-time-zone travel watches.

Cutting-edge technology for absolute precision

Beyond its remarkable aesthetics, the Longines Spirit Zulu Time 39 mm reflects the brand's exceptional watchmaking expertise. The movement, with its exclusive Longines silicon balance spring, guarantees superior precision and reliability. Two essential components of the movement are made of an antimagnetic material, exceeding the ISO 764 standard for magnetic resistance tenfold. The watch is thus protected from the magnetic disturbances omnipresent in our everyday environment, preserving its exceptional performance.

A model of watchmaking expertise

The Spirit Zulu Time is powered by a high-precision automatic movement, a guarantee of reliability and accuracy. Longines is renowned for its watchmaking mastery, and this watch is no exception. The hour hand can be set independently of the GMT indicator. The additional time zones are shown by a hand and a graduated rotating bezel with a 24-hour function. With a 72-hour power reserve, the watch keeps running even when you are not wearing it, sparing you the hassle of resetting the time. The movement's COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute) chronometer certification attests to its precision. The five stars engraved on the dial are a traditional Longines symbol of quality.

With the 39 mm Longines Spirit Zulu Time luxury watch, the brand invites you to follow in their footsteps and live your own adventures.
